I would love to support them, but I need a trackpoint and 3 buttons.
- KerrickStaley 8y agoThe three physical buttons are an anti-feature for me personally, because they reduce the size of the trackpad. And the trackpoint is a net neutral. I've used ThinkPads on and off for years and I still feel like a trackpad is more efficient than a trackpoint.
- MisterTea 8y agoUgh, how do you even begin to use rio? ;p
- _emacsomancer_ 8y agoI like the ThinkPads best where the size of the touchpad/trackpoint is reduced to the logical extreme. (It wasn't until I discovered ThinkPads, and specifically TrackPoints, that I could use a laptop as a "lap" top. I just unplug the touchpad on models which have 'em as I'll only ever touch it by mistake.)
- dorfsmay 8y agoTo each their own style. I am much more efficient with a track pad and 3 buttons. I wish they offered that as an option on their laptop line. A smaller touchpad is better for my workflow as I only use them for 2-finger scrolling and it leaves more space for the keyboard.
- PascLeRasc 8y agoSomething like this (https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/accessories-and-monitors/keyboards-and-mice/keyboards/KEYBOARD-US-English/p/0B47189 https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/accessories-and-monitors/keyboa...) might work for you. They're definitely building a "desktop" desktop, not a laptop, and from the description of 128-768gb ECC RAM/46-86TB storage, it sounds like the higher-end models will be rackmount form factors.
- dorfsmay 8y agoI hadn't realised they only produce a desktop only, I was looking at their laptop line.
